mad you also were again, the same time I was

Biggest problem we have is when isak is playing with his back to goal, when he's fed it and he's got an angle on the defender they are terrified of him. Whether Wilson stays or not, we probably need someone like him for when there is no in behind ball. Our biggest failure is probably that we only have the one way of playing, but when it's the right circumstances we can be devastating. Next season I think we have to adapt the plan B of target man (hold up play) and more natural width

No need at all for any release clause in a new contact. Bruno only had 2 years remaining come this summer so signing an extension and compromising on some demands could be expected. Isak has 4 year come this summer. Wouldn't even be against a wage increase with no extension, but there's no benefit to us for accepting a release clause in his contract (unless it's one of those mental £1bn one's someone mentioned previously).

Should have hoyed it at some poor fucker in the crowd... "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?"

We should get a N-O team together. With @Optimistic Nut and @ponsaelius surely we’d have it in the bag… https://x.com/worflags/status/1784329173487493600?s=61

Great idea!

Bowen would be quality but after the season he's having he's probably at peak value right now so I very much doubt we could afford him. From Wiki he was a Man U fan growing up. If they can shift some players this summer he'd be a cracking Antony upgrade for them.

You say damming but if you apply the maths 4-5 games would’ve been the expected return. Any more than 5 a bonus really. Split the £37 into 4-5 and add it to each ticket and it seems ok value. It’s if you only if your success rate is 0-3 then the value doesn’t look great. Still have the access to the re-sale market which helps also but an absolute pain. As is the lack of block/seat choice in the ballot.

Burnley H Shed utd H West ham 2 H Bournemouth? H Brentford H Sunderland A (Can't remember the Bournemouth one, i was there too)

The club should put out a job advert for someone who's entire role will be: 1. To laugh hysterically down the phone at any club who enquires about buying him. 2. To then repeatedly call that club back just to keep laughing hysterically at them.

Watched the interview with Gary Neville, he comes across extremely well. Self motivation, confidence, and a hunger to achieve. A managers dream

Exactly that.

Most medias will ignore this, because they need something to write about that will get them the clicks..

Getting beat at home by Bristol Rovers sticks out as a particularly turgid performance. Devon White running riot .

Anyone else see him turn round and stare towards the gallowgate after about the 10th time of people moaning and groaning at him He was raging. Whether people rate him or not that shows that the shit he gets is getting to him Not on really Burn got the same a few games in a row. In particular Luton

What also happens when you go to a better club is that you get less space in most games. It's just a very different way of playing.

Yeah looked to me like he kicked it just a tiny bit too far ahead of himself and then had to stretch and caught his studs.

i thonk he tried to flick it to isak but caught his studs in the turf.

Definitely has great potential for home games as we saw against Villa and 70mins against Liverpool when all on the pitch together. Let’s not forget what a difference Longstaff made returning to the midfield plugging gaps in th e pitch and helping us return to keeping some clean sheets before he broke his foot. Midfield balance for 24/25 definitely our biggest conundrum going forward along with CH absences/GK situation for the 2024 months.

Yeah man Longstaff has more goals and he’s wank, sell for £5 million. It Will free up some FFP wiggle room.

A ruthlessly efficient footballer.

Yeah lack of control of playing time/needing a replacement etc. are certainly fair points. But I think the Championship gets underrated for developing players, just looking at recent England players, loads were developing in the Championship at his age: Maddison, Kalvin Phillips, Grealish spend 3 years there in his early twenties, Eze, Conor Gallacher spend a year on loan there before he was loaned to premiership teams. Bowen, Watkins, Toney etc all spent years developing their game in lower divisions until they were older than Anderson is. It's not ideal having him on loan, but my feeling is at his age (21/22) he's not going to reach his potential without consistent first team football (i.e. regularly starting in a settled position) and I don't think he's ready for that yet here. Not at the level we want to be at. You might find a bottom half premier league team for him, but as an attacking midfield I'd rather have him in a good championship team personally, and knowing he's going to be one to their better players is going to help ensure minutes. Even if it's maybe a loan till Jan with the option to extend. Alternatively he can be a useful squad player here. Ideally he absolutely tears it up in the final games and shows himself to be first team ready. I suspect he'll be a squad player next season as well though, which is fine. But he's in a very formative part of his development - he won't be seen as a young prospect for much longer, and I just think he really needs a year of being a consistent first team starter.

In fairness he showed he could score pre-season in USA. Still can’t make my mind up on him but I’m leaning towards not good enough for where we are aiming to be. Still giving myself another season to make mind up on him and that in reality is probably all he has with EH too.
